Surprised

I don't even care about animation, yet I find myself listening to this. I am surprised how interesting it is. I can't wait for more episodes. And is Morgan looking for romance? She is sounds hot.

If you're a Disney fan you'll love this podcast.

The most important thing that I want in a podcast is that it keeps me entertained, is interesting, and the people make you want to listen more. This podcast has everything. The topics they talk about are so interesting, especially when you know and love what they talk about. Disney is such a broad topic, and when you hear the topics they talk about (like The Iron Giant) you are sad when the episode comes to an end. The people are so genuine and funny and you can tell they are friends. I give this 5 stars and would recommend it to everyone!

Great!!!
